A DUCK STORY.

A Wyoming Hunter Discovers Huge
Cavern Which Contains Three Lakes.
A singular story comes from the
head of Panther creek. a stream OF
Northeastern Colorado, with its course
not many miles from the Nebraska
line. One of the sources of the creek
is a shallow, sedgy pond, from which
the water pours overa miniature prec-
pice some ten feet in height and five or
xix in width.
The pond is the resort, in their sea-
son, of a great many wild ducks, who
feed on the sedgy plants growing on
its margins and its shallow bottom.

GERMAN SOLDIERS.
Retirement of the Veterans of KOni ggratx
Sedan and Paris.

Retirement of the Veterans of KOni ggratx,
Sedan and Paris.
German newspapers are drawing at
tention to the interesting fact that the
present year, 1886, marks the outset of
a new era in which the men who fought
in the great wars of 1866 and 1870 will
have entirely retired from service.
Hereafter the conscripts who are an
nually levied to renew the active army
will be men who were not born when
the last OF many quarrels between
Austria and Prussia ripened toward
the final settlement at Sadowa. These
coming recruits were but children four
years old when the leaguers of Metz
and Paris were begun, and they can
have no recollections of the suspense,
the trials and the triumphs of that
period. Nor, with the exception of
some officers, is there any one now left
in the active army or even in the Land
wehr, or reserve, who can recount as
an eyewitness the soul-stirring cam
paigns of Bohemia or France, and per-
petuate in his young comrades the
passions which formerly intlamed the
Prussian soldier against his Austrian
and Bavarian compatriot as well as
against his traditional French enemy
Only in the Landsturm, or home guard,
linger some veterans of the Seven
Weeks war, and the grass has long
been green over the graves of their
brethren who persisted in fratricidal
conflict at Koniggratz and Kissingen.
OF the soldiers who will henceforth be
called upon to fight for the German
Empire in any probable contingency,
not one can recollect a time when
North German and South German
were not brothers in arms, nor would
any of the new generation look with
the old fear and rancor on their neigh
bors across the Rhine if Frenchmen
upon their part would but cease talk.

OCTOBER.

October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost, she is so st'll,
Though her sweet cheeks are rosyk
And through the floating thistle-doWn
Her trailing, brier-tangled gown
CLEANS like a crimson posy.
The crickets in tho stubble chime;
Lanterns haS1 out at milking time;
The daisy's lost her ruthless
The wasps the honeyed pippins try;
"A film is over the blue sky,
A spell the river muffles.
The golden-rod fades in the sun;
The SPIDERS gauzy veil is spun
Athwart The dropping sedgesl
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
NO bird-song the dim silence stirs,
A blight is on the hedges.
But filed with fac content is she,
AS IL no frost could ever be,
To dim her brown eyes luster;
And much she knows of fairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With tinkling mirth and bluster.
She listens when the dusky ewes
step softly on the fallen leaves,
AS II for message cheering;
ana 1t must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear
line teet of Christmas nearing.

GLOW fast? Well, the only thing that
will measure it is lightning. When a
Texas norther is coming they telegraph
ahead, so people can get under ground,
but when it gets under good headway it
will just about run a neck-and-neck race
with the telegram. How fast's a Dako-

Horace Edmond's factory from 10 o'clock
until 2. At 2 Mr.. Poindexter suggested
that as those present were probably weary
the sale of machinery on the second floor
of the factory should be postponed till to-
day. This suggestion was briefly discussed
and finally agreed to-a very lucky agree
ment, as the sequel showed. For at 4
o'clock the second floor of the factory gave
way, falling with crash and carrying
large quantity Of machinery with it. About
one hundred persons had been present at
the sale, and it makes one shudder TO think
how few of these would probably be alive
now had the sale been continued. But for
the fortunate stopping of the sale before
the second story was reached there would
have been many n mourning family in

he was consigned to the care of the in
mates of the home near Richmond ;
some of them having kept step with him
in the trying times when their beloved
leader was on his back. The horse was
an object of much interest to visitors to
the Soldiers Home, and great pet of
the veterans.
Old Sorrel breathed his last surround

had found peculiar pleasure in kindly
caring for him in his last days. 1t was
not unnatural that those who had so ten

clustered about him should have turned
aside to brush away the tears when the
little horse died.
His epitaph is simple, but between the
lines speaks volumes
